Giraffe and Multiwheel step-up mount

[Unisykolist]

Curently, I'm practicing 1 foot wheel walk which I've almost perfected. In my spare time when it's dark or rainy and can't practicin one foot wwalk, I go in the carport and practice the step up mount on my giraffe. I can get it 1 out of every 4 tries.

Should I step up as fast as I can or a bit slower to control it?

Should I pedal just as I'm about to get on or pedal when I AM ON?

Any other tips?

Multi-wheeled step-up mount:
I've discussed this a bit with ducctape on 3 wheeler unicycles, I want to learn to step up on the wheels anassisted and mount the 3 wheeler so anymore advice would be appreciated.
And for a 2 wheeler I guess it would be the same, step on the tyres and climb but it would be weird because if you pedal backwards liek an idle to keep you ballanced, I'll go forwards and stuff up...
